📖 Rules of the game (summary)
PREPARATION
1. Place the game board with the circular track in the middle.
2. Each player chooses a color and places their pawn on the starting square.
3. Shuffle all agent cards.
4. Each player receives 4 cards.
5. Choose a starting player.
GAME PLAY
Each turn consists of 3 steps:
1. PLAY (I SPLIT, YOU CHOOSE)
* The active player chooses two cards from their hand.
* Place one card face up on the table and one card face down.
* The opponent chooses one of these cards.
* The chosen card is played by the opponent.
* The other card is played by the active player.
2. RECRUIT (PLAY CARD)
* Place the played cards with you.
* Move your token according to the value on the card.
* Many cards have three values:
– 1st time you play this type of agent → use the first value
– 2nd time → use the second value
– 3rd time → use the third value
Some cards have special effects.
END OF TURN
Check whether anyone has won or lost.
Then replenish your hand to 4 cards.
END OF THE GAME
The game ends when:
– a player overtakes their opponent's token on the track, or
– a player has 3 Codebreaker cards, or
– a player has 3 Daredevil cards (that player loses).
If the cards are gone and no one has won, the player closest to the opponent on the board wins.
STRATEGY TIP Since you play one card face up and one card face down, try to mislead your opponent so that he chooses the wrong card.
